Nuclear Reactor Physics

Overall

One response: I studied like I study for everything ; be honest with yourself : if you do no know how to prove everything you say (or are absolutely confident on its veracity) that means you are not trustworthy. Can you bear with the responsibility of the failure of the future on Nuclear Industry because you failed to be proficient enough? So if you are not willing to trust yourself to be autonomous, honest and reliable, how can you expect others to honestly trust you ? If you feel you cannot trust yourself, that simply means you are not ready yet, and that is good because it would be bad if you were to pass and not be proficient. So just know the science with depth and confidence, and you shall do fine.

First Part:

One response:

• Prepare slides keeping in mind half of the committee is out of your field. 
• Practice with students from and out of reactor physics.
• Don't try to present everything. Present what the committee must understand and present what would lead to questions you like. 
• Communication lab is helpful.
